never_inline··on Brave overhauled its Rust adblock engine with FlatBuffers, cutting memory 75%
I guess code bloat is proportional to schema complexity, and performance improvement is proportional to volume, so in ad blocker with many large block lists the latter dominates.

> lots of solid packages like GetX

I haven't touched flutter in two years, but isn't getX a kitchen sink library disliked by everyone?

never_inline··on Nerd: A language for LLMs, not humans
> Do you debug JVM bytecode? V8's internals?

Comparing LLMs and compilers is so bizarre.

Whole poast looks LLM written with catchy nothingburger headlines. Please don't do this. Very difficult to read.

Which abstractions in langchain do you find so useful which require significant code to replicate yourself in functions with OpenAI SDK / LiteLLM?

never_inline··on Coursera to combine with Udemy
One thing this comment (and recruiters) don't understand is that someone with foundation can learn these things pretty fast within few months.
never_inline··on How China built its ‘Manhattan Project’ to rival the West in AI chips
If I was in china's position and so much is at stake, how can I go towards engineering all the tech from scratch when I can reverse engineer existing tech from west?

When I joined I could do all this.

They're also good at putting company code into ChatGPT.

never_inline··on AWS CEO says replacing junior devs with AI is 'one of the dumbest ideas'
If that was the case I would be chilling during my junior years.

Juniors are usually given either grunt or low priority work while seniors get more "important" work.

OTOH, it takes a lot to get your questions on RIGHT EARS when you're a junior, so wouldn't agree with your characterization at all.

never_inline··on Show HN: Gemini Pro 3 imagines the HN front page 10 years from now
This is definitely based on a search or page fetch, because there are these which are all today's topics

- IBM to acquire OpenAI (Rumor) (bloomberg.com)

- Jepsen: NATS 4.2 (Still losing messages?) (jepsen.io)

- AI progress is stalling. Human equivalence was a mirage (garymarcus.com)

never_inline··on Show HN: Gemini Pro 3 imagines the HN front page 10 years from now
It has also fetched the current page in background. Because the jepsen post was recently on front page.
never_inline··on No more O'Reilly subscriptions for me
In my country, it's cost-prohibitive to buy technical books (except the most popular ones like DDIA / JCIP).
never_inline··on The AI wildfire is coming. it's going to be painful and healthy
If they are profitable on inference currently, they will be able to recover. People in SWE will continue paying for current SOTA models even if better models are not achieved.
never_inline··on The AI wildfire is coming. it's going to be painful and healthy
It's AI writing. Big words and rule of 3.

asyncio.get_event_loop ?
never_inline··on Thoughts on Go vs. Rust vs. Zig
fmt.Errorf with %w directive in fact wraps an error. It will return an fmt.wrapError struct which can be inspected using `errors.Is`. So it's not stringly typed anymore.

No man, this must be satire.
never_inline··on Search tool that only returns content created before ChatGPT's public release
Please tell me this is satire.
never_inline··on Search tool that only returns content created before ChatGPT's public release
A colleague sent me a confident ChatGPT formatted bug report.

It misidentified what the actual bug was.

But the tone was so confident, and he replied to my later messages using chat gpt itself, which insisted I was wrong.

I don't like this future.

never_inline··on A trillion dollars (potentially) wasted on gen-AI
Are reranker models an example of this? Do they still underperform compared to LLMs?

also nice to expand a bit.

never_inline··on How/why to sweep async tasks under a Postgres table
Some people really overdo HTTP verbs /GET, /POST, /PUT, /DELETE and leave much work to frontend. Irks me a lot.

But then again, there's GraphQL because frontend developers thought backend developers are anti social.

I think that scaling RL for all common domains is already done to death by big labs.
